Yes, but you will have to fabricate a custom transmission mount. Also, it's a big waste of time, since the RX-7 auto transmission sucks. You'll find threads where people are getting rid of the auto in favor of a manual trans.

Suck it up and learn to drive a 5 speed.

Unless you are handicapped, there is no reason for your potential abomination.

Driveline = transmission, driveshaft, rear end & half shafts.

You can interchange all of this, as long as a custom trans mount is made.

What can't do is use an auto driveshaft with a manual NA transmission, or vice versa.

I kept the auto rearend with the 5 speed. I think i might change it. I dont like the gearing. Its ok for everyday driving though. However if you like to drift and do burn outs the gearing is such that you will end up burning the clutch
